Friend/FPN injury update

[Bansai Pipeline]

They will both be back for the next game. It means that we will be full strength apart from Napa - and hopefully Kane can fill that role in the meantime.

That could well be next week.

I think we'll struggle against the Panthers with our injuries. They're a bogey team and have nothing to lose.

[Tommy Smith]

They're not a bogey team under Robbo.

We've thrashed them 3 games in a row under Sir Trent.

As for Liu, I watched some of last Thursdays game again and his speed and powerful running around the ruck caused havoc. One run completely took out the markers and a quick ptb led to Pearce's break and Mini's try. Fantastic player.

The game after.

I think Lui has come on nicely and will appreciate a starting spot. He has good speed and bends the line back. I think he will make a big impact

You cant be serious BP, have you seen the Panthers injury list?
We will put them to the sword!

[Johnny Tobin]

I am not so confident but it is important that we win the game to keep our momentum going.

[Tommy Smith]

I'm super confident.

This Panthers nob don't know what finals footy is about, except Kite and Soward.

We totally outclassed them last time and will do the same again on Saturday.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Who knows what will happen.

But I don't think it'll be an easy one.

They have a good spine and will be playing to win. And we have 4 key men out.

I'm getting worried. Whenever you're down and miserable, we always win.

Whenever you're confident, we always lose.

Now that you're super confident, does that mean we get a 40 point hiding?

[Tommy Smith]

Haha I hope not!!

If they score first I'll try and be miserable to turn our fortunes around :-)

[Johnny Tobin]

Hearing FPN is a good chance now. That will make a massive difference.

[Tommy Smith]

For sure.

If Cranky Frank plays he can slot straight in for Guerra in the starting XIII, with Evans taking Napa's spot.

Minimal disruption.

[Funky Chicken]

I have to admit I am surprised that the TAB have Penrith at $4.25 and us at $1.24, in my humble opinion the game will be a lot closer than many people think. Mind you I am happy to eat a big slab of humble pie if we smash the Panthers.....

[Chooks4Life]

If Friend and cranky Franky are both out who is going to come onto the bench ?

8 Jwh
9 Aubo
10 Casty/Evans ?
11 Boyd
12 SBW
13 Liu

Interchange: Moa, Evans/Casty, Hastings/Stranger ??

Will someone be making there debut or will Frank be back in time.

FPN cops a regular bagging on here and has for years. Personally I would be very happy to see him back. I think he has been strong to consistent for quite a while. Not to mention that he is mental. Just what we need!
